Video of the encounter, inside the home in the community of Homewood, shows what happened next.
Someone can be heard yelling, "you better get out of here!"
The bear listened! The cub got out of the home by climbing over the staircase railing and jumping down the stairs.
A volunteer with the "Bear League" recorded this video on Wednesday and posted it on Facebook.
"It's no fun having bears in houses," the league said. "They do not tidy up after themselves."
